Can someone clarify if there's a relation between .gitignore and .cvsignore files? Are they synchronized somehow?
If .cvsignore is generated from .gitignore then there's something wrong.
If .cvsignore files are stored separately in CVS then the patch can be applied only there by AJ (I've seen the repository being locked by user "juillard" while applying the patches).
They are generated, IIRC they get updated when the makefile changes or something like that. The scripts are in tools.git if you want to improve them.
